Does anyone have a latest list of who is where? Might be useful to be kept up to date?

I tried to contact him personally and had no success. I hope he moved on. Tea Trails have a new property beach side near Galle.

Sigh. I really liked him. Wonder where he's gone?

I heard he was managing a place in New Delhi - Shakti.

Another really, really good Aman GM, gone. I wonder if he left on his own or was let go.

I did not stay at either Aman in Sri Lanka, but was considering doing so for a time. And when I contacted him via email, I found him to be incredibly helpful and responsive (and apparently, these qualities also carried through to how he ran the resorts).

Aman loses yet another good one.

I feel so deeply sad so many great GM are gone that may explain the drop in service and rates (sorry service only not rates, at least not yet hahahha ).

Interesting. What do you know about Shakti? A place we should keep in mind for our next trip to New Delhi?

I don't think it is open yet. I know that area of Delhi, but have never heard of a luxe hotel there. Maybe someone should ask Robyn Bickford at The Lodhi. OK. I'll ask her.

I would love to be part of an Aman do, I will be reviewing the Aman in Venice later this month so will feedback.

For what it is worth, London does seem to be a good and very accessible location for DOs- We hold our Hyatt Do at the Hyatt Churchill in London every October and it's really popular. I attempted to set up an intercontinental Do in Cyprus but there was little interest. But with no Aman actually in London does this make sense?

How about a "Luxury London Do" that incorporates the Aman junkies, Four Seasons Fans and maybe LHW lovers too? (is there a crossover? I love all 3!)

I love the Langham (just refurbished club lounge, great spa and Roux plus their super bar) or another favourite of mine is the Four Seasons Park Lane.. I also love the Club Lounge in the Intercontinental across the road which could make a good venue for a smaller do..

Any thoughts?

Great idea to have a DO in London, would love to try the FS

Robyn Bickford knows nothing of Shakti either. I have asked others in India, too, and nobody has heard of anything happening. Strange.

Dear all,

Pietro Addis who was GM at Wella didn't move too far cause he followed Olivia Richli at Amangalla, still in Sri Lanka. However, I don't know where Olivia has moved since she left Aman Canal Grande in Venice. This european property its now managed by the charming Claudia Schwarze I met at Amankila...

Thank you!

This seems accurate, at least as of January of this year, based on a TA review I found (http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserR..._Province.html)

I suspect, like myself, you were duped by the LinkedIn profile showing him at Shakti.

vuittonsofstyle

Pietro is not at Amangalla, from what I hear. Linkedin has a lot to answer for, though!

Olivia Richli, whose contract was not renewed by the new Aman management, is currently looking for a job.
